Car Keys Express Wins Inc. 5000 Award

Car Keys Express Wins Inc. 5000 Award

The U.S.-based global leader in automotive key replacement has earned a spot on the coveted list every year since 2016.

Inc. Magazine has announced that Car Keys Express is once again featured on the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies.

Inc. 5000 ranks companies based on three-year revenue growth. Very few of the 30 million small businesses in the United States ever appear on the prestigious list, and fewer still sustain their growth to be included for six consecutive years.

The award puts Car Keys Express in good company, alongside many other well-known companies like Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, Under Armour, Patagonia, Intuit, and Zappos that first gained national recognition as honorees on the Inc. 5000 list. 

“This year, winning a place on the list is monumental, considering the continuing challenges resulting from the Covid lockdowns,” said Mark Lanwehr, founder and CEO of Car Keys Express. 

“Being awarded a single time is considered a significant achievement. Of course, as a company grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to meet the growth rate required to win in succeeding years. Due to the continued dedication of our team members all over North America, we’ve been awarded an amazing six years in a row. Our retail consumer products business has exceeded our best expectations, proving consumers are eager for solutions outside the traditional dealership replacement model. Looking forward, our team continues to ensure our development pipeline turns out industry-unique projects. The new key cutting and pairing technologies we’re introducing will further strengthen our leadership position in the industry.”
